- What is Suture-Less ear lobe repair treatment?
- Torn or split earlobes usually occur to women who either have worn heavy earrings or had a child pull on their earring. Earlier cumbersome "surgical treatment with sutures" was the only treatment for delicate earlobes. Earlobe surgery without stitches is a novel surgical technique to repair split earlobes WITHOUT use of stitches. New holes can be created within 3 weeks of this surgery.
- What results should I expect from this treatment?
- Your long earlobe slits can be repaired within half an hour and you don't need to visit again to take out the stitches. A fine line will appear once healing is complete and this will also fade away with time.
- How long will this surgery take?
- The surgery will take less than half an hour.
- Can I drive way back home, on my own, after this surgery?
- Yes, you can drive way back home.
- Any dietary restrictions?
- No, there are no dietary restrictions. You can have your usual meals prior to surgery.
- Any special prescriptions following the surgery?
- You will be given a course of topical and oral antibiotics for 5 days and a painkiller if required following the procedure.
- Is the treatment painful or any side-effects?
- The treatment is completely safe and done under local anaesthesia.
